> Pachca's programming interface for automation: send messages and manage chats and members over a REST API

Источник: https://pachca.com/en/glossary/api

An API (Application Programming Interface) lets your code talk to Pachca. With the API, developers can:

- Send messages to chats as a bot
- Create, edit and delete chats
- Manage the member list
- Read messages and reactions
- Connect Pachca to your internal systems

The API follows REST principles and uses JSON. Requests are authorized with a token that you create in your workspace settings. The docs live at dev.pachca.com.
